Years before Chicago's Fine Arts Building was declared a landmark, and where the World Playhouse Theatre was located, my late father, Charles Teitel, World Playhouse owner and foremost independent film distributor, hired a famous movie theater architect to redesign the front of the building. This plan was never put into action, but what you see in the photos is a Signed Original 1950s vintage rendering of the theatre's facade on illustration board measuring about 29 x 21" 

Called "venerable" by the New York Times, architect, John J. McNamara practiced for 35 years in New York City at the office of renowned movie theater architect Thomas W. Lamb. McNamara designed the Coronet Theater and the Baronet at 3rd Avenue and 59th St.(Nederlander owned), The Winter Garden Theater and the Loews on Broadway; altered the Little Carnegie Theater on 57th, the R.K.O.Colonial, and the New Apollo on West 43rd. Condition is good. The design is modern and sleek, a big change from the 193O's original. Of the three pasted-on figures onto the drawing, people walking by the 410 S. Michigan Ave Theatre only two remain. There are tears towards the bottom. 

The architecture's hand-printed caption and signature at the very base reads:
